I think Wallace is a tremendous talent but he was not in the top 10 in: Yards, TD's, first downs, average, receptions or yards per game.

That makes sense. After all he wasn't even the number 1 targeted receiver on his team last year. How many of those top 10 receivers can you say that about? Play the tape through and see the big picture.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 49ers threw out ridiculous numbers to scare other teams off... but if he really voted for Keenan Lewis I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did ask for Larry Fitz type money.

I can't see how that would scare off other teams. After all, they can simply call his agent to see what he is asking for. It could be leaked to quiet an angry fanbase.

As for the Keenan Lewis thing, I hadn't heard that before, but totally bizarre.

The Steelers wouldn't have cleared cap room OR mentioned they wanted to retain Wallace if he in fact does want that much money. I think it's totally bogus and hope he signs soon for a respectable contract. I'd have no qualms with the Steelers paying him Vincent Jackson/Desean Jackson money or even a bit more. He's worth that contract.
